I'm sitting here watching my two little girls happily devour their lunch, hurray! I decided to try something new today, you know me and my feeble attempts to get my girls to eat more. Today I baked some french fries and chicken nuggets. Can't go straight to healthy food with a toddler and pre-schooler because it's completely worthless. I also let them feel like big girls by including a little bowl of ketchup for dipping their goodies. I see so far, the french fries are a hit but the chicken, not so much, but I'm not throwing the towel yet, lunch isn't over and I see KayLee has just grabbed a nugget. Annnnd let's not forget that I also gave them a Gerber Strawberry Nutritional drink. NataLee thinks its a milkshake and has been happily sipping away. I'm really trying to increase my girls nutritional intake and also open their worlds to new and exciting foods. The second part is much harder than I thought it would be.
***going to check plates
NataLee has eaten 1 chicken...oy. KayLee has not touched any...double oy.
They are enjoying the ketchup a little too much. Can we say, ketchup fingers. Joy, clean-up should be lots of fun, haha.
Ohhh wonderful KayLee has bit into a nugget. I'll take 1 fully eaten nugget as a good sign. I'm sure the kids get tired of my food nagging, lol.
Time to do the food encouragement dance and see how much more we can get down before they enjoy some fresh strawberries and whip cream and quiet time to prepare for naps.
Hoping naps will go well this afternoon because I have lots to come back and type about.
